The first investment fair in the Republic of China was a great success. Before the investment fair was held, everyone looked at this new thing with suspicion, especially those established foreign companies and compradors in China, who had been using their traditional methods for many years.
When doing business with the Chinese, they were even more disdainful of this sensational form of investment promotion. Although Fang Zida had previously told Marcos to send invitations to them all and actively invited everyone to participate, no one took the matter seriously.
In my mind, I just sent my subordinates to take a look around during the opening.
But soon, the hot reality made all these people's glasses shattered. When the results of the first day came from all over the place, these arrogant and arrogant guys couldn't sit still. Early the next morning
Everyone flocked here, eager to get a piece of this tempting cake.
Except for a few foreign companies, because they had business cooperation with Marcos' company for a long time, they didn't take it seriously before the opening. However, out of friendship, they sent their subordinates to occupy a stall and join in the fun. Who would have thought that by the time of the investment fair?
When the huge results showed, these foreign companies quickly changed their strategies and hurriedly sent out their most capable assistant managers, associate managers and even senior managers to promote their products. Compared with these lucky foreign companies, they originally did not pay much attention to the investment promotion meeting.
The senior class members, who valued and even privately laughed at the whims of the person who came up with this thing, regretted it immeasurably. On the other hand, they were eager to get a share of the pie and rushed over to get involved.
How could it be so easy in the world to be indifferent before and divide the cake afterwards? There was no need for Fang Zida to remind him, how could the cunning and greedy Jewish businessman Marcos let go of such a good opportunity? In the following days, the stalls were transferred during the investment promotion conference.
The prices were getting higher day by day, and more and more foreign companies were being robbed. Just by collecting the huge stall fees, Marcos made so much money that his hands cramped, and his face was smiling so hard every day that he couldn't even find the slits in his eyes.
The investment promotion fair that lasted for a full month was a great success. Whether it was the merchants who came early or the merchants who squeezed in during the middle, all the foreign companies made a lot of money. Of course, compared with these people, the ones who gained the most
Or Fang Zida and Marcos.
Due to adequate preparations in advance, Marcos sold out a large amount of machinery and equipment in stock, and also received orders for more than 80% of the entire export transaction volume of the entire investment promotion conference. Basically, it can be said that the best part of the whole cake has been completed.
Although the remaining 20% was not a small number, it was enough to make the other participants ecstatic.
According to the final statistics, the huge amount is simply unbelievable. Even Fang Zida did not expect it. Just like the reform and opening up sixty years later, China has become the world's factory. This shows how great China's potential is.
Huge. Of course, these final data are extremely confidential. Except for Fang Zida and Marcos, almost no one really knows. When the final data was displayed in front of them, Fang Zida and Marcos looked at each other speechless for a long time, and then
What came was bursts of hearty laughter.
On the day when the investment fair officially ended, the assembly line of the ordnance factory officially started running. After more than a month of simple training, China's first military industry assembly line demonstrated its strong production capacity from the beginning. When the day's output was summarized and sent to
When Chen Fu was in Chen Fu's office, Chen Fu couldn't believe his eyes. There were 577 Civilian Type 314 rifles, 96 Civilian Type 3141 grenade launchers, 75 Civilian Type 3142 grenade launchers, 14,086 rounds of 7.92mm bullets, and 1,715 grenades.
809 special grenades for grenades, 14 Maxim machine guns...
Holding the summary table in his hand, Chen Fu was so happy that he almost fainted. This output was almost the same as the previous half year, which means that in just a few days, the ordnance factory's production capacity will be the same as the previous full year's production.
.What excites him even more is that due to the adjustment of the production process and the abandonment of the original manual workshop model, all the ordnance produced are very standard, with excellent quality and an extremely low defective rate.
"Has the production data come out?" Fang Zida, who had just finished the investment promotion meeting, quickly walked into Chen Fu's office. Seeing Chen Fu sitting at his desk and giggling, he couldn't help but walked up to him strangely and shook his hand.
Shake.
"Are you here? Hurry! Look!" Chen Fu, who had recovered his senses, realized that Fang Zida had already arrived, and quickly handed over the summary form in his hand.
"Tsk tsk, it looks pretty good!" After a few glances, Fang Zida asked with a smile: "What about the quality of the product? Just increasing the output is not enough, the key is quality."
"There is absolutely no problem with the quality! Old Liu Tou personally led people to conduct random inspections."
"Old Liu Tou?" Fang Zida knew who this person was after thinking about it for a moment. This old Liu Tou was the old technician with the best skills in the ordnance factory. To be honest, he had seen this old technician's skills with his own eyes and really admired him.
, whether it is possible to make a gun, and where there is a writing brush, all he needs to do is fiddle with it a few times. Since Chen Fu has arranged for Old Liu Tou to be a testing expert, Fang Zida can certainly rest assured.
"Zhang Ming, I just made an estimate in my mind. If we use this output, the ordnance factory can supply equipment for nearly 300,000 troops in a whole year. This is incredible! I didn't expect that the assembly line production method is actually effective.
So remarkable!”
Chen Fu rubbed his hands and looked excited, but Fang Zida was much calmer than him. He shook his head sternly and said: "How can it be so exaggerated? Yes, this is the result according to the data, but don't forget the raw materials!"
Chen Fu was stunned for a moment, and his enthusiasm was immediately extinguished by these words.
Yes, raw materials! The production capacity of the ordnance factory has increased, but this requires sufficient raw materials. In order to run the assembly line, Fang Zida and Chen Fu took out almost all the raw materials of the entire manufacturing bureau, including gunpowder (**
), steel, copper, cast iron, etc. If these raw materials are based on the current production capacity, it is estimated that they can only last for a short two or three months. Once the raw materials are used up, the assembly line of the ordnance factory will be a deaf ear - a decoration.
Other things are easy to say, but the key is gunpowder (**) and steel. These two things are the most important parts in determining ordnance. China's current chemical industry is almost blank. Although the manufacturing bureau has its own gunpowder factory, the quality of the gunpowder produced has always been
Not high. The gunpowder required by the military industry is basically imported. As for steel, the same is true. Domestic steel cannot meet the requirements for ordnance. If you want to manufacture high-quality ordnance, you also need to import a large amount of suitable steel.
"What...what should I do? I boiled the water but the rice is gone? Could it be that this pot of rice can't be cooked?" Chen Fu's brows were so close that he finally saw that the ordnance factory had turned around, but
Because of the raw materials, the success fell short? This made Chen Fu, who wanted to show off his skills, extremely depressed.
Seeing Chen Fu's frown, Fang Zida couldn't help but smile secretly. In fact, he had been prepared for it, but he just deliberately scared Chen Fu to prevent him from getting too excited and overheated.
Calmly taking out a stack of documents from his bag, Fang Zida let Chen Fu take a look. Chen Fu hesitantly took it and took a look, then jumped up immediately.
"Fang Zhangming, are you trying to scare me?" Chen Fu, whose worries were gone in a blink of an eye, laughed and cursed. These were the raw materials that Fang Zida had helped prepare a long time ago. The huge quantity on them made Chen Fu feel happy.
Flowers.
"These things are not given for free!" Fang Zida reminded: "The ordnance factory is now independently operated and responsible for its own profits and losses. The amount of money must be settled in real gold and silver."
"Ah! Where does this account come from so much money?" Chen Fu was shocked again. He didn't need to do the math. He, an ordnance expert, knew how huge the funds required for so many things were. The manufacturing bureau was already living a tight life.
Baba, now that the central bank has cut off funding for the ordnance factory, how can there be so much money to buy it?
"Mr. Le Shu, look at you like this, hey..." Fang Zida shook his head and sighed, then took out something and gave it to him: "You have guns and cannons, are you afraid that you won't be able to find money? It's true, look at these.
What is it?"
"Department of the Army... no! Procurement order from the Department of Defense?"
"right!"
Fang Zida explained: "From now on, the production, procurement, and sales of the ordnance factory will have to be figured out by myself. Of course, as a superior, I will not let it go. Since the output and quality of ordnance have reached the standard, the purchase of ordnance by the National Defense Forces can be
Buy directly from the ordnance factory. The price is based on this standard. Although it is much lower than imported goods, after the production process has been changed, the cost of the ordnance factory has been greatly reduced. I think this price is enough for the ordnance factory to make a profit.
Already."
Taking a closer look at the price, Chen Fu's face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum smile, and he nodded repeatedly: "It's profitable enough, it's so profitable! I have already calculated the cost, and if I sell it at this price, I can earn almost 30% or more!"
"Haha, that's enough." Fang Zida nodded and said seriously: "In the future, the money earned will be directly deposited into the Central Bank Ordnance Factory's account, and I will send someone to supervise the funds. Of course, for the work of the ordnance factory and the salary of the managers, you
Discuss with the people below and come up with a plan, and remember not to treat workers badly. As for the excess, it can be used to develop new weapons and expand reproduction in the future."
"That's no problem!" Chen Fu agreed, comparing his feelings with others. Who wouldn't be happy if he made more money and gave more money to the workers below? If this is the case, the ordnance factory will only get better and better in the future.
The two exchanged opinions on the next work. After more than an hour, Fang Zida, who had just talked about it, felt that he still had something to do at the bank, so he stood up and prepared to leave. After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something again and turned back to Chen Fu: "
By the way, Mr. Le Shu, please let me know about the procurement of raw materials."
"Release?" Chen Fu didn't understand what Fang Zida meant.
Fang Zida drew a circle out of thin air, stretched out his fingers and pointed at his feet: "Spoiler! Let's just say that in the future, the ordnance factory's raw material procurement will not be restricted. If the steel mills and gunpowder factories can provide qualified products, the ordnance factory can also purchase from them.
Order. Of course, if the product is not up to standard, there is no need to discuss anything!”
Looking at Fang Zida's back as he turned away, Chen Fu felt a little thoughtful...
